A little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Rowland A Sbarpe, who recently had measles has re covered, and there are no others in that family to get them. Row land says he only knows of one or two other cases in the valley and they are about over them. Mrs. David Strait who bad pneumonia so long and severely last winter, has been having severe spell of grippe this win ter. . She is reported a little bet ter now. Mrs. Wm. H Fagley has been in poor health for some time with infirmities incident to ber age, Dr. McClain, of Hustontown is attending her. Mrs. Sarah Lohr, residing with her daughter Mrs. Chas. W Schooley and family, fell on the ice some time ago and injured herself badly. Heart trouble en sued which completely prostrat ed her. She has been in a very critical condition but is a little better now. The people of this community were much shocked last Satur day morning to hear of the death of James S. Foreman, near Lai- dig. This was a rapid culmina tion of the dread disease, cancer of the stomach. The funeral procession composed entirely of automobiles passed through this community Tuesday enroute to the Sideling Hill Baptist church where Interment was made. A considerable number of la boring men of this valley some vith their families have moved to Kearney and other points in the Broad top coal region where they have secured employment. Oth ers are talking of doing the same thing. We understand that the Post master General of the U. S. Pos tal department has made no let tings of the following mail routes on account, it is supposed of ex cessively high bids, and has re- advertised the routes on the Lin coln Highway, v z From Everett to Saluvia and from McConnells burg to Saluvia; also some other routes in this County as those in terested may observe at their re spective, post offices. The coa slaotly increasing parcel post business has caused greatly in creased bids to be made on many ot the mail routes. The only mail route in this county that we positively know to be let is the one from Saluvia to New Grena da to David Hershey. Last Wednesday, known on the Church calendar as Ash Wed nesdaythe Lenten season be gan and will continue until 'Eas ter, which this year falls on the 8th of April. This lenten Reason of forty days excluding Sundays s commemorative of the forty days fasting of our Savior. The question was recently put to us: Why did Christ fasl? Oar ans wer was: Our blessed Lord and Savior, in order to prepare Bim self for the important work on which he was entering the sal vation of mankind retired by dl rection of the Holy Spirit into the wilderness where be fasted med itated, prayed, and sustained the temptation that he might enter upon And prosecute bis minittry with more glory to himself, to mankind, and to God. And as the Savior of the world, be would be exposed to poverty, ridicule and the most trying temptations tf Satan, it was highly necessary that be should previously over come the subtle deceiver ot our farst parents, who involved them and all their posterity in one com mon ruin. So all who ever lean upon him will be given strength to do his will and not faint when tempted.

The general popularity that the home used to enjoy before the days of taxi cabs and cabarets may hare a renais sance If the hotels and cafes keep oa piling tip their .charges with the wild abandon that aow characterises them, says Philadelphia Bulletin. More and more people have been cultivating a habit of eating In restaurants rather than at home, and It mast be said, to tbe credit of the restauraat men, that they are doing their utmost to discour age this teudency by putting dyna mite under their prices on every possi ble and Impossible occasion. A very wise maa, misplaced In the cutlery business, said not long ago that It was the tip rather than the talk In barber shops that drove millions of men to shaving themselves. The bar ber shops still cultivate rightfulness. But they bave grown to seem like charitable Institutions la comparison with the pretentious modern hotels and restaurants and the hordes of amateur banditti who lurk In their lobbies and Id every dark corner with palms turned up and one pretext or another for ac quiring money that they do net earn. It Is this sert of thing that may keep the home trem going out of style alto gether In day when Its Influence la so sorely needed. The tip mania may be one of those mystical reactions ef fate that occur aow and then to keep humanity on a straight path when It seems determined to steer for the ditches. Despite wars and famines, civilisa tion continues to progress. Give hlra time nod experience In abnndsnce and mP wju ltap Aping 19 aH dyp '. So) Couoelete SS0S 0 Ford Motor Company o. b. Detroit STATES BATTLESHIP OKLAHOMA tage, says Chicago Daily tfews. He may appear to be a little slow, being by nuture conservative, but he learns. For exninple, after some thousands o( years he has learned that he can get into a shirt without putting It on over his head. The coat shirt Is now worn by nearly all men. Now hats are be ing studied. For some centuries man has not been addicted to the hat beau tiful, leaving that esthetic creation to the ornamental sex. He has required his headgear to be utilitarian and com fortable nothing more. But now Its utility and comfort are being assailed by forward-looking Iconecliists. Doc tor Reynolds of Chicago avers that the construction of the masculine lid causes baldness, and boldly recom mends that hats be abandoned alto gether. Doctor Bkralnka, another health authority, suggests as a com promise a loose fitting hat, tied under the chin with ribbons. Did you know .that the words "ci pher" end "rero" came from the same Arabic original? Of course you know ' that they commonly menn the snme . thing, but tbey don't at nil look as If they had the same root. It enme about In this way: The Arabic word was "slfr." Tbe eld . Latin treatises on j arithmetic took this word from tbe Arabic, but Latinized It Into "zephy rum." The Italians contracted this Into "seflro." We knocked the two mid dle letters out and Still further short ened It to "sero." The French, on the other hand, contracted the Latin term Into "clfre," thus getting nearer 4 to the Arabic. And since the English lunguoge has always taken what It wanted fro.ni the French whether It - Sn u Next Ten Days. navy Is the Oklahoma, here .shown ' was needed or not we took this word, changing Its spelling to "cipher." We have differentiated the meanings of the two words, now; sero means nothing, and cipher means the character for nothing. It ts more Important to know what a man Is than the policy he Intends to pursue. It Is better to have a cou rageous, high-minded, honest, capable man than one who lugged a bale of pol icies. In the personality lie the high est possibilities of public duty. , Just what a man will do In certain emer gencies no one knows by what he says he will do, for he Is a creature of circumstances, and the construction of those circumstances belongs to his per sonality, which Is attested by his life. So the ultimate object of all policies should be the man who can rise uhove a selfish Influence and do tbe right thing at the right time, says Ohio State Journal. And all this lies with in the sphere of education, from which Is evolved the citizen whose whole value Is his personality, and not his knowledge or his smartness or orntory. FOREHANDED.

War. prosperity has 'doubled the number of our citizens having an nual income j of $30,000 to $300,000 in the last year as compared with the year previous, Thomas F. Logan writes in Leslie's. The receipts from the individual income tax show an increase of $27,000,000, the total for the year ended June 30 last being $67,943,294. According to the esti mates of the commissioner of inter nal revenue this will be raised during the current year . to' $111,750,000. New York paid one-fourth of all tha corporation income taxes and nearly one-half of all the direct income taxes collected last year. In the lat ter respect it yielded nearly five times as much as Pennsylvania, nearly six times as much as Illinois, more than seven times as much as Ohio. The five states named paid four-fifths of the income tax collected in the Unit ed States. One hundred and twen ty Americans have incomes of a mil lion or more a year, not counting in come from capital stock. New York upplied seventy-four and Pennsyl vania ten. New Jersey and Ohio fol low, with seven and six, respectively, while Connecticut, Delaware and Il linois have four each. Of the south ern states having residents with in comes of $1,000,000 per annum, or more, the returns give one apiece to Georgia, Missouri and Oklahoma.

The long-neglected coral is com ing into its own again in the mak ing of ornaments for milady. Much of the beauty of the carving has of late been lost, because many Italian carvers have been sent with the ar mies in the great European war, but the Japanese have taken hold of the industry and have made considerable advance, in its development Aside from the carving, the color of the coral has a great deal to do with the value placed upon it. The most expensive is "boke," a pale quince color. Single beads of this color, suitable for manufacture into ornamental hairpins, bring from $10 to $50 each. The next color in value is pink, followed by white, light red and dark red. OPINIONS OF IMPORTANCE. 0 "Do you study a question thor oughly before you make a speech?'
